Ryan's 3-4 defense is an attacking-style defense that places an emphasis on putting pressure on the quarterback.

Some of the Saints' defenders will be somewhat familiar with a few of Ryan's defensive principles, as former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams sometimes employed similar defensive play calls, Jordan said.

In Ryan's two seasons in Dallas both of the Cowboys' outside linebackers flourished with Demarcus Ware (31 sacks) and Anthony Spencer (17) combining for 48 sacks. Such news should make the Saints' situational outside rushers Junior Galette and Martez Wilson, who have combined for just 13½ sacks the past two seasons, happy.

"The 3-4 is what I ran in college and it's something similar to we ran with coach Gregg Williams," Jordan said. Hopefully it won't be that hard to transition from the 4-3 to the 3-4. It sounds like what I have been doing.

"It's a blitzing, attacking system, which will be fun. I think it suits me. Without a doubt (Galette and Wilson) will be the most excited about the situation. As long as everybody is on the same page I can't see why this wouldn't be a great fit for us."

Lets hope he can get our D to even an average level, maybe our defense needs a shouty get in your face kind of coach, GW brought an attitude to our D in 2009 and we played nasty
We looked scared of everyone on defense last year, maybe rob ryan will bring that aggressive hard hitting D to us
